...Notes for reading :
Deface your books. Have fun writing in them. Indulge yourself as you never could with your grade school books. The purpose of making marks in a text is to call out important concepts or information that you will need to review later. Be aware, though, that underlining a text with a pen can make underlined sections—the important parts—harder to read. As an alternative, many students underline in pencil or use colored highlighters to flag key words and sentences. Using a highlighter to mark key information can save lots of time when you are studying for tests.
Underlining offers a secondary benefit. When you read with a highlighter, pen, or pencil in your hand, you involve your kinesthetic senses of touch and motion. Being physical with your books can help build strong neural pathways in your memory.
Five smart ways to highlight a text
Step 5 in Muscle Reading presents a powerful tool: highlighting. It also presents a danger—the ever-present temptation to highlight too much text. Excessive highlighting leads to wasted time during reviews and can also spoil the appearance of your books. Get the most out of all that money you pay for books. Highlight in an efficient way that leaves texts readable for years to come.
Read carefully firstRead an entire chapter or section at least once before you begin highlighting. Don’t be in a hurry to mark up your book. Get to know the text first. Make two or three passes through...

...Office of Financial Aid: Re Chanel Ford #201559988 Appeal Letter
I'm writing this letter in hopes that the University and Admission and Academic Standard Committee will reconsider my Academic Suspension. Going into my third year at Prairie View A&amp;M University. I have been through so much from my grades slipping, to losing my financial aid, to my car wreck. I believe it was because my mind was not fully prepared for everything that was going on in my life, however giving up and quitting school is not an option and with determination I know I can do it. Today I am writing my 2nd academic appeal because of my low performances at the university and a major medical issue I endured. On January 4, 2013 I was involved a very bad car accident, which the accident was a head on and from the back collision to where I was sent to the hospital and have a permanent injury; in which I dislocated two discs in my back. This injury caused me to lose my job and not do as well in my classes as I should have. After being released from the hospital. I still couldn’t really walk, I was set to see a pain management specialist for sessions 3 times a weeks for 2 months to see if I could get better and to help me ease the pain a little. I knew by begin in the hospital that my work load would be full and going back and forth to the doctor 3 times a week it kept me a little distracted and I was unable to focus in school or my work. Even though I communicated with my professors and letting them...

INTRODUCTION:
Reading is a complex cognitive process of decoding symbols in order to construct or derive meaning (reading comprehension). It is a means of language, of communication, and of sharing information and ideas. Like all language, it is a complex interaction between the text and the reader which is shaped by the reader’s prior knowledge, experiences, attitude, and language community which is culturally and socially situated. The reading process requires continuous practice, development, and refinement.
Readers use a variety of reading strategies to assist with decoding (to translate symbols into sounds or visual representations of speech) and comprehension. Readers may use morpheme, semantics, syntax and context clues to identify the meaning of unknown words. Readers integrate the words they have read into their existing framework of knowledge or schema (schemata theory).
Other types of reading are not speech based writing systems, such as music notation or pictograms. The common link is the interpretation of symbols to extract the meaning from the visual notations.
The history of reading dates back to the invention of writing during the 4th millennium BC. Although...

"Atomized Culture"
Studies show that Americans are reading less and less these days due to our
advanced technologies. I think Terry Teachout knew what our future was becoming in the
21st century.Reading is extremely important for our education and future. I also believe
that if you don't read you lose your imagination.
Today's society everyone is always either watching the television, on
the computer, or on their latest addition cell phone. Technology is definitely making
reading more and more obsolete. Its easier for a person to just hop on the web and lookup
any information they need rather than reading a book. Just like Terry Teachout says, he
speaks of our "atomized culture," and his is a responsible, up-to-date and carefully
considered opinion. He speaks of "art forms as technologies." He tells us that movies will
soon be "downloadable"­­ that is, transferable from one computer to the memory of another
device and predicts that films will soon be marketed like books. Terry Teachouts'
prediction was right on point. You can do exactly that, download movies on to CDs, or
just save it to your computer and even...

Adams (1990) defines Phonological awareness as an awareness of sounds and the ability to revealed tasks such as rhyming, matching sounds, deleting sounds, blending or segmenting sounds. Because these sounds are spoken words they require testing to manipulate phonological segments. This is required to determine the performance of good readers and poor readers. Depend on the result one can determine which...
